Nigeria youths 'retaliate', kill policeman
2013-09-16
[THEAUSTRALIAN.AU] AN official says vigilantes in Nigeria's northeast have killed a police officer after one of their members was rubbed out by police.

The Civilian Joint Task Force has been helping the government capture Islamic gunnies in and around Maiduguri, where Boko Haram

formed years ago.

A member of the Civilian-JTF, Muhammed Adamu, said the policeman shot and killed the vigilante after stopping him for being on the wrong side of the road.

Adamu says the member was transporting a Boko Haram suspect in a car.

Borno state Governor Kashim Shettima said vigilantes blocked a major road with burning tyres and threatened to harm further coppers on Saturday.

State police commissioner Lawal Tanko said one officer was beaten to death.
